Below is a link to a story of how imported dogs are raising the fears of a resurgence of rabies in the US. USA Today Here is an article posted not too long ago of how canine rabies is now considered eradicated from the U.S. dog population, as of this year. (But in light of […]
A common issue with Frenchies is rather stinky air coming from those adorable snouts. Maybe it’s those short air passages, or the structure of the tooth-crowded, undershot jaw. Most likely it’s just because, like it or not, a Frenchie is still a DOG! We’ve tried the carbon tablets, the canine toothpaste, the doggie mints, Greenies before […]
One of the most popular blog entries we’ve done is about adverse vaccine reactions. It is accessed at least once a day, unfortunately, sometimes as many as five to six times a day. We can only hope our experiences and list of links has helped a few dogs and their owners through some rough patches. […]
A dog blogger, Johann the Dog, has started a list of safe fruits and veggies for dogs, with a twist. Each added item is linked to a dog blog or blog about dogs. So, we are adding our contribution: watermelon! This is a favorite summertime treat in our house and the crew is crazy about. Of […]

Have you ever noticed your Frenchie watching the TV along with you? And not just because there is a dog or cat on the screen? We’ve noticed this behavior for years in our guys. (Lucy has this thing for a younger Mel Gibson.) Found some very interesting research which determined short-nosed dogs see differently than […]
We no longer give our dogs rubber or Kong-type chew toys after an incident last year with one of our guys. He’s a very aggressive toy chewer and even though we’d trash chewed-up toys which no longer appeared safe, when a toy is missing, you can’t see it to throw it away! For dogs who aren’t […]
